Replacement for Rasiak


SO16_Saint

Recommended Posts

But was the perfect foil for Beattie who would not have scored half the goals he did without him

 

I thought somebody would say something stupid like that

 

If you are a striker you are supposed to score goals what happened when Beattie left

Somebody like Ormerod who ran around but hardly ever scored

indeed

 

what makes me laugh..we had ohmygod and we all wanted 20 goal a season striker..we get one then we want one who runs around loads..

 

newsflash...the ones that get 20 goals and run like a trojan in the CCC tend not to stay that long...

Someone fast

 

Seriously

 

When WAS the last time Saints scored a goal with a striker racing through one on one before slotting it home?

 

BWP v Forest last game of the season? Got a few goals like that -Burnley (a 2007/08 ), Plymouth (a 2007/08 ); but also missed a ton of chances from one-on-ones (at least can be commended for having the pace to break through). Otherwise, Saga v Preston (h 2008/09)...

Why has nobody mentioned Jermaine Beckford from Leeds, especially if Saga also leaves - wouldn't that be a statement of intent. I know he would cost a LOT but we are rich now it's not as if we would have to pay him premiership wages but just a good (perhaps very good) 1st Div wage. I don't think it will happen but as this is a wish list then he's my wish.

Wouldn't mind the happy medium and in Saganowski I think we have that player. Runs around a fair bit and should score 10+ league goals.

 

I'd like to see us bring in a player to replace BWP who can really change a game from the bench with alot of pace. Not really sure who, don't really know much about this league or league 2 and who's available but there must be someone.

pssh - even then Saga's goal vs Preston was an angled shot where he had to turn the defender. It wasn't like sheer pace as he raced through, passing it into the net one on one.

 

I'm not just saying this as an example because i think those type of goals look nice but because it highlights our lack of pace and lack of ability to find a through-ball!

Anyone mentioning the likes of Beckford need to get real. He is only at Leeds (unless he goes by Tuesday to a Prem/CCC side) until the end of the season, he's made it clear to them he will not be playing League One football past this season, which is why he hasn't signed a new contract, to see if they go up or not.

 

We're here for 2 seasons at least, so Mr Beckford won't be coming down here.

 

Craddock, Bishop, Jackson or Sharp are more realistic. It'll have to either be a star from a small side or someone well out of favour at a bigger side.

Oh yeah, and for about the fifth time on here.... Nathan Tyson.

 

Gets my vote as well. Could be an excellent partner for Lambert, plenty of speed, good crosser and knows how to beat a man.

 

Might be able to get him from Forest without too much drama considering the 'log-jam' of strikers they have.

Rasiak was a slow, hold up striker with a great goalscoring record..... we have already replaced HIM, its called Ricky Lambert.

 

We need someone to replace the fast, quick striker that always partners the big man. Last year we had BWP and perhaps McGoldrick in this mould. We still need to sign someone who has these attributes. Maybe a loan is the answer???
